Natural bubbling spas with mineral waters have existed here for millennia and are still around to heal the body and soul, if not simply to rebalance your energies. Today, there are also many fine spa properties and hotels that take spa therapies to new heights.

Think of Thalassotherapy, for example, which simply translates into sea therapy (thalassa being the Greek word for sea). Officially, Thalassotherapy can only be administered within close proximity to the sea, which is an easy task in Greece.

Add to these therapies healthy Mediterranean cuisine, locally manufactured health and cosmetic products, organic produce and a few alternative-therapy centres, and you'll see Greece from a whole new different side.
